Light brown with darker and paler flecks pairs well with cognac leather, terracotta pots and white walls. The mottled light brown Sina brings warmth to a lounge without a pattern you might tire of.

The light brown Sina in front of the sofa

Low and even, the pile keeps the mottle soft. Over underfloor heating it lies without trouble. Place it so the front feet of the sofa and armchairs stand on the wool, and the whole seating group reads as one, which is what most rugs for the living room are bought for. Work out that overlap with our advice on rug sizes and leave a strip of floor showing at the walls.

Mottled light brown wool from India

Wool from sheep is a natural fibre, and the pile of this Sina is 100% of it, tufted by hand in India into a cotton backing. It sits among our wool rugs as a low pile rug, and in a bedroom it also counts among bedroom rugs that run out from under the bed.

Caring for the light brown Sina

An underlay a bit smaller than the rug stops it slipping and keeps the corners down. For spills, our cleaning advice means a light cloth, blotting from the outside in without rubbing. Every few months, turn the light brown Sina so sun and footsteps spread evenly.
